Ah!

I confirm that adding these three 

        "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
  	"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation"
	"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"

indeed keeps these attachments open, whereas the default values
"application/msword" and "application/vnd.ms-excel" did not.
